Exploring possibilities
Concept Development involves taking a ship, offshore construction or a harbour project from its concept specifications to a design ready to be taken to the next level.
Together with naval architects and designers, we evaluate the specifications, identify limitations, make recommendations for improvement, and then provisionally verify the key parameters using computer simulation and elementary testing techniques. We look at propulsion performance, motion optimisation, structural response, manoeuvrability and safety, and draw on experience gained in operational performance research programmes.
